Pittsburgh at New Jersey

Pittsburgh is talented and balanced, #12 in the NHL in goals scored and allowed, plus #6 in penalty killing. The Penguins have a five-point edge for the last wild-card spot. The Penguins are 10-3 when their opponent scores two goals or less in their previous game. Sidney Crosby and Phil Kessel scored in a 2-0 home win over the Devils in the last meeting back in January. They face a New Jersey team with no offense, last in the league in goals scored. Star goalie Cory Schneider is ailing and won't play, so backup Keith Kinkaid will start. The Devils are 4-10 in their last 14 in the third game of a three-in-four situation, so grab the visitors. Play Pittsburgh.
